“Ethereal Machines is in a unique position to build supply chain resiliency and increase productivity across key manufacturing factors, and we’re committed to developing India’s manufacturing value chains to reach global competitiveness. The new funds will enable us to scale our operations and cater to more high-end engineering applications locally and internationally.”

Multi-axis machining machines operating with Computer Numerical Control (CNC) allow motion in four or more directions that help in the manufacturing of the precision parts that are used in industries such as aerospace, defence, automobile and healthcare.

As per the firm, on average, its manufacturing solutions reduce costs for their customers by 30% and production lead times by 40%, adding that its advanced precision machining capabilities will cater to high-growth industries where demand for more high-end precision components is increasing.

The Indian government, with its several initiatives, such as Make in India, China+1 and the Production-Linked Incentives (PLI), continues to push to position India as a global manufacturing hub, moving towards more automated and process-driven manufacturing.
